K to 12 General Information

The purpose of this article is simple. I will introduce the problem in general and present my opinion on K + 12. Proceed to implement K + 12 effectiveness, not the effectiveness of K + 12 as a system. Education is the future of society, so students' personal and social growth depends on it, so students should receive appropriate education. What is K + 12 and why do you implement it? From 2011 to 2012, the Ministry of Education plans to start implementing the Enhanced K + 12 Basic Education Program (K + 12 for short).

K to 12 (also K - 12), under the Ministry of Education, to improve the basic skills of learners, to cultivate more capable citizens, prepare students for lifelong learning and employment It is a target education system. "K" stands for kindergarten and "12" stands for basic education for the next 12 years (6 years primary school, 4 years middle school, 2 years high school).

The K to 12 program includes kindergarten and basic education for 12 years (primary education for 6 years, middle school for 4 years and high school for 2 years), master concepts and skills, and foster lifelong learners. Let's prepare for business. The poor performance of Filipino students in domestic exams and international examinations like TIMSS (mathematical and scientific trends) reflects the poor quality of basic education. Part of the reason is a crowded course; the basic education course in the current 10 years is designed to teach 12 years.

By changing the K - 12 curriculum, the number of modules in the university general education curriculum will decrease. Courses that received basic education will be deleted from the university general education curriculum. Details of the new GE course are listed in 2013 CHED Memorandum Series 20. The Ministry of Education (DepEd) and CHED and DOLE continue to adjust the actual number of teachers affected by private higher education institutions (HEI). ) In the worst case, 39,000 teachers from higher education institutions will be unemployed within 5 years. This is true only if no higher education institution establishes its own high school, but DepEd currently handles applications for more than 1,000 high schools from private organizations.
